Letter: Managing risks

To the editor:

Headlines and debates have abounded after news of the new Iran treaty.  

Matters of control, inspection, research, monitoring and verification are pointed out as vulnerabilities and risks. (Can any treaty eliminate risks?) We with thousands of bombs hold an incomparable advantage — and thank God no one expects us to use or threaten with them. (The bomb must to be “useless.”) Still, safety is an important and cherished goal.

Of course, in Kansas, conceal and carry is a “citizen’s right.” And does that promote safety? No risk? No control, no registration, no training, no limit equals safety? I prefer reducing or eliminating that risk.

Even nations have limited themselves banning poison gas? Some risks are too risky.
